(Reuters) - The incorporation of meat into the diet was a milestone for the human evolutionary lineage, a potential catalyst for advances such as increased brain size. But scientists have struggled to ...
Ancient, fossilized teeth, uncovered during a decades-long archaeology project in northeastern Ethiopia, indicate that two different kinds of hominins, or human ancestors, lived in the same place ...
Scientists used a particle accelerator to reconstruct the 3.7-million-year-old face of Little Foot, one of the most complete fossils.
Comparisons show the face size falls between a gorilla and an orangutan, with shape closer to orangutans and bonobos, and a closer resemblance to east african fossils in the orbital region ...
